Chelsea stats ahead of PSG

Chelsea are playing back-to-back matches at the 82,500-capacity MetLife Stadium. The attendance for our semi-final was 70,556.

The Blues have reached our 30th major cup final since 1997 and gone on to win 18 of the previous 29.

Only Real Madrid (five) and Barcelona (four) have reached the FIFA Club World Cup final more times than Chelsea (three).

As the Club World Cup begins in June, club statistics from the competition are being categorised as part of our 2024/25 season.

This is our 64th and final match of the 2024/25 season, which started on 18 August 2024 against Manchester City. By the end of Sunday’s game, we will have faced teams from 17 countries across five competitions over 330 days. We have only played more games in one other season: 69 in 2012/13.

Chelsea have won our past five international finals (excluding Super Cups) since 2013, including a 4-1 victory over Real Betis in this year's UEFA Conference League. Our last loss in such a match was a 1-0 defeat to Corinthians in the 2012 Club World Cup.

Chelsea have won 13 of the past 15 matches in all competitions, losing only at Newcastle and to Flamengo (both times finishing with 10 players), and recorded seven clean sheets during this period.

Enzo Maresca has used a club-record 45 players this season, nine more than the previous record of 36 set in 2023/24.

Chelsea’s last 10 goals in this year’s competition (excluding own goals) have been scored by nine different players.

The Blues are seeking our 41st win of the season, which would make it our third-highest number of wins in a single campaign, following the 2004/05 and 2006/07 seasons (both with 42 wins).

Chelsea have the tournament’s second youngest average starting XI, with an average age of 24 years and 184 days, surpassed only by Red Bull Salzburg whose squad averages 22 years and 361 days.

Joao Pedro, who had not scored from outside the box in his previous 70 games with Brighton, scored from outside the penalty area 18 minutes into his first start for Chelsea.

He is the first Chelsea player to score two goals across his first two appearances for the club since Diego Costa in August 2014 and the first to score two goals in his first start for the Blues since Michy Batshuayi against Bristol Rovers in the League Cup in August 2016.

Only two players have created more chances from open play at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup than Cole Palmer (9). In the semi-final against Fluminense he created three chances while completing all 27 of his passes, becoming only the second player at this year’s tournament to create 3-plus chances and maintain a 100 per cent passing accuracy (20-plus passes), along with Rayan Ait-Nouri for Man City vs Juventus.

Enzo Fernandez has more assists than any other player at this year’s FIFA Club World Cup (3) and he also has the joint most assists of any Premier League player in all competitions in 2025 (9, level with Morgan Rogers and Anthony Elanga).

Trevoh Chalobah completed all 54 of his pass attempts in the semi-final against Fluminense, the second-most with 100 per cent accuracy by any player in a match at this year’s Club World Cup after Jonathan Tah for Bayern Munich v Boca Juniors (67/67).

Chelsea have not conceded a first-half goal in this year’s FIFA Club World Cup whereas PSG have scored 10 first-half goals in this year’s competition, including three against Real Madrid in the semi-final.

The Blues won our last penalty shoot-out 4-2 against Newcastle in the League Cup quarter-final in December 2023 having lost the previous two, in 2022 in the League Cup and FA Cup finals.

2024/25 season

Ligue 1: Winners
Champions League: Winners
Coupe de France: Winners
Trophee des Champions: Winners
Club World Cup: Finalists

Paris St-Germain won both the Ligue 1 and Coupe de France titles, and defeated Inter Milan to become the first French team to win a continental treble.

PSG secured a spot in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup through their strong European results from 2021 to 2024, qualifying via the ranking pathway.

Ousmane Dembele scored his 35th goal of the campaign against Real Madrid in the semi-final – his previous highest total was 14.

They reached the Champions League knockout stages for 11 straight seasons and claimed their first title in 2025 with a 5-0 win over Inter Milan.

PSG faced English teams eight times in the Champions League this season, losing to Arsenal (2-0), beating Manchester City (4-2) in the league stage, and eliminating Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal in the knockout stages.

PSG have won 10 of their past 11 matches across all competitions.

Vitinha's influence at PSG can't be underestimated. Against Real Madrid he made 112 passes, almost three times as many as any of the Real Madrid players, and regularly dominates the central area of the park, as shown by his heatmap.

Since the Coupe de France final, Paris Saint-Germain have secured victory in their last five knockout round matches with a combined score of 18-0, including a 10-0 aggregate over opponents in the knockout stages of the Club World Cup.

Paris Saint-Germain secured victory in their most recent penalty shoot-out, defeating Liverpool 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League in March.

PSG coach Luis Enrique has not managed or played against Chelsea.

Paris Saint-Germain will be without central defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez for the final as both are suspended following red-card offences.

Achraf Hakimi is hugely influential to the way PSG play. Even though his starting position is right back, he is heavily involved all along the right flank, as indicated by his touchmap. Only Vitinha with 121 touches surpassed Hakimi's 93 touches against Real.
